title: [Increasing the toxic effect of pulmonary carcinogens by destruction of epithelial-mesenchymal interaction in explants of embryonic respiratory tract of mice].
abstract: The explants from 17-day old embryos of A and C57BL mice were used for long-term organ cultures. The following series of explants were studied: 1) the intact control explants; 2) the explants treated by NMU; 3) the explants treated by BP; 4) the explants isolated from mesenchyma (M); 5) the explants isolated from M and treated by NMU; 6) the explants isolated from M and treated by BP. The survival of explants treated by NMU or BP did not differ from the intact control explants (p less than 0.1). The removal of M decreased the survival only in the explants from the distal RT of A mice (p 0.01). The survival of explants isolated from M and treated by NMU or BP was significantly lower than it was in intact explants (p less than 0.01-0.001). Thus, the destruction of epithelial-mesenchymal interaction induced by removal of M can modulate the toxic effect of pulmonotropic carcinogens.
